# Testing Progress Forecast Report

The**Testing Progress Forecast Report** can help test and project managers understand whether their **test cycles are on track** based on the current **velocity** towards the******project**or **cycle end date**. Panaya will display the expected delay in calendar days if you are not on track.

📰 Check out **[](https://www.panaya.com/blog/testing/testing-progress-forecast/)**[**this blog post**](https://www.panaya.com/blog/testing/testing-progress-forecast/)to learn how you can benefit from using this report.

**💡 Good to Know**

- The planned date displayed in the forecast is based on the [](https://success.panaya.com/Planning/55742922/How-to-Plan-Test-Cycles-Within-Panaya.htm)[Cycle / Project](/v1/docs/how-to-plan-test-cycles-within-panaya)End Date
- The forecast calculation takes into consideration business days only (Monday to Friday)

**🤔 No Graph Showing?**

- Verify that the relevant Cycles are in the [Execution stage](/v1/docs/how-to-launch-a-cycle) and that the Cycle / Project End date is defined.

- The forecast can simulate up to 100 days of delay

From within a Project -

1. Select the **Reports tab**
2. Expand the **Tests section** and select the **Testing Progress Forecast** report

3. You can filter to view the progress of a specific **Cycle** or select **All**to view all cycles in the current **Project**.  
When selecting **all Cycles**, the **planned end date**in the graph corresponds to the **project end date**.  
Use the toggle to change the display between **Tests / Steps. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1639855578646.png)**
4. The simulator below the graph allows you to forecast your end date by changing two parameters -
  - The number of Tests / Steps in **scope**to be tested in your Cycle / Project. This number is the total number of Tests / Steps remaining for today.
  - The number of **daily passed**Tests / Steps, based on your current daily average.  
  
Use these options to **review different possible scenarios** and take action  
The simulator takes into account business days only (excluding Saturday and Sunday)

The **default values** and limits of the forecast simulator -

- **Tests / Steps in scope**
  - The default value is based on the number of tests/steps in the scope
  - The maximum value allowed is 10 x the actual number (if the actual number is less than 10, the max value is 100)
- **Daily Passed Tests / Steps**
  - The default value is the actual velocity (based on the number of passed tests/steps from the start date)
  - The maximum value allowed is 10 x the actual velocity (if the actual velocity is less than 10/day, the max value is 100/day)
